If you would open your Bibles
to the book of Revelation, chapter 22. Revelation 22. We've come
to the last chapter in this book. I've just enjoyed this study
so much. I must have a few weeks, Lord willing, in this last chapter.
I just hope you found this study to have been as profitable as
I have. Before we begin, let's bow together in prayer. Our God and our Father, Lord,
we bow. in your presence this morning.
We bow, giving thanks that thou art God alone, that you are God,
the creator, the ruler, the sustainer of all things, that your God
and none can question what you're doing. None can stop your will,
your purpose, your providence for your people. Father, we bow, giving thanks
for your mercy and your grace to us in our Lord Jesus Christ. How thankful we are that that
purpose cannot fail, that your purpose of salvation cannot fail,
that you have promised you will bless the preaching of your word,
that your word will not return unto you void, but you'll bless
it to the purpose where unto you sin. As we open your word
this morning, Father, we beg of thee that your purpose would
be that you'd bless your word to the salvation of your people,
to the comfort and edification and strengthening of the hearts
of your people. Father, I pray that you would,
in this hour, that you'd be with me as I open your word, that
you'd enable me to rightly divide the word of truth, to declare
the Lord Jesus Christ and get out of the way so that your people
would see him, that they'd fall in love with him, all their faith
and trust and hope would be in him. Father, we pray that you'd
bless our the teachers of our children, that you bless them
this morning in a special way. Give them a special portion of
your spirit. Be with our children. Cause them
to be good listeners. That they would learn the things
that you'd have them to learn. That this would be a time that
you'd plant the seeds of faith in their heart. Father, we pray
that you would be with those who are hurting and who are sick.
There's so many at this time. We're thankful that you're God
alone. But none of these cases are too
hard for thee. We pray that you'd heal, that
you'd comfort, that you'd be with him until such time as you
provide a way out. Now again, Father, bless us.
Let everything that is said and done here this morning be done
to the praise and the glory of the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
It's in his precious name we pray and give thanks. Alright, now here in Revelation
chapter 22, John is still describing the vision that this angel, the
preacher of the gospel, has given him, describing the vision of
God's elect, the bride of Christ. Remember back in verse 9, chapter
21, There came unto me one of the seven angels, which had the
seven vials, full of the seven last plagues, and talked with
me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb's
wife. And that description does not
end with this chapter division. This chapter division is probably
an unfortunate place to put it, but the description does not
end there. It continues on in these first verses of chapter
22. I've preached from these first five verses of Revelation
22 a number of times. And when I've looked at them
in the past, I've always looked at them as a view of heaven.
And that certainly does apply. But really, this is still a vision
of the bride of Christ. It's a vision of what Christ
has done and what he is doing for all of his people. Now, that
will be perfected in heaven. But every believer has these
blessings right now. And that's why I want us to see
this morning. And there's a beauty in this last chapter of the Bible
that I want us to see, and I hope we'll remember this. There are
quite a few similarities between John's vision in Revelation 22
and the Garden of Eden described in Genesis chapter one. A lot
of similarities between them. The beauty of the Garden of Eden
before the fall matches very closely John's vision at the
end of the Bible. And this shows us that everything
that Adam lost in the garden has all been restored by our
Lord Jesus Christ, only better. Everything that was lost at the
beginning of the Bible is now restored to God's people only
better at the end of the Bible. So Revelation 22 verse one, here's
the first thing I want us to see that the water of life is
in every believer. And he showed me a pure river
of water of life, clear as crystal proceeding out of the throne
of God and out of the land. Now you remember Eden was a well-watered
garden. It had a river that came out
into four heads that just very well watered the Garden of Eden.
But when Adam sinned, he was thrust out of that garden, wasn't
he? He lost all that wonderful supply of water. And what's worse,
what that's really a picture of is how Adam lost his soul. He lost the life of his soul.
His soul and the soul of everybody who had ever descended from Adam
died when Adam sinned. Our souls became a dry, barren
desert where nothing can grow. Everything is dead because there's
no spiritual water there. But Christ came to restore all
that. He came to restore a better water,
a spiritual water for his people. Look at John chapter 7. Christ
came to restore the water of life for his people. The water
of spiritual life. John 7 verse 37. In the last day, that great day
of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst,
let him come unto me and drink. He that believeth on me, as the
scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living
water. See, Christ is the water of life.
He's not talking about H2O here, is he? He's talking about himself.
How is it that we come and we drink of Christ? We drink this
spiritual, this water of life. What he says here is by believing
on him, everyone who believes on Christ out of his belly, out
of his soul shall flow rivers of living water. Water that can
never be lost like Adam did. Look back a few pages at John
chapter four. See this water of life is in
every believer. Our Lord told the Samaritan woman
this. In verse 10, Jesus answered,
and said unto her, if thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is
that saith to thee, give me to drink, you would have asked him,
and he would have given thee living water. In verse 14, here's
the living water. Whosoever drinketh of the water
that I shall give him shall never thirst, but the water that I
shall give him shall be in him, a well of water springing up
unto everlasting life. See, Christ is the water of life,
and he's in every believer. And this water is not in a believer
like a little pond, even a giant lake. I've seen pictures out
west where they're having that drought, gigantic lakes that
are almost bone dry. That's not the water that's in
every believer. This is a spring that's constantly springing up
in a life-giving fountain that's in us that can never be lost.
It'll never run dry because Christ our Savior will never run dry.
And that's exactly what John saw in our text in the last chapter
of the Bible. He saw a mighty river of life-giving
water that'll never run dry because that river is the Lord Jesus
Christ. And life in him can never be
lost. And whoever believes on him,
as our Lord said, whoever believes on him has that life in him. It's a rich, abundant life, which
is exactly why our Lord came. He said he came that his people
might have life and they might have it more abundant. This mighty
river of water, the water of life, is in every believer. And
John saw that this water of life is pure. It's pure holiness. It's pure righteousness. It's
pure because there's nothing added to it. It's pure Christ. And that's salvation. That's
the gospel that we preach. The gospel we preach is pure
Christ. It's Christ alone. Christ plus
nothing. because nothing else will say
but this pure gospel, the pure gospel of Christ alone with nothing
added to him. And notice the source of this
water of life. The source of the water is the throne of God.
It comes from the throne of God and of the Lamb. I tell you what
that's saying. That's not just painting a pretty
picture of heaven. I tell you what this is teaching
us. Something very, very, very important. Salvation and life
in Christ is sovereign. It comes from the throne of almighty
God. The Lord Jesus Christ is the
sovereign savior. He saves whom he will. He loves whom he will. He gives
life to whom he will, and he'll never take it back. Salvation
is of the Lord. Salvation is God choosing us,
not us choosing God. Salvation is Christ doing, not
our doing. Salvation is God, the Holy Spirit,
applying that salvation, applying the blood. It's not our decision. Salvation comes from a sovereign
God, a sovereign Savior. And every believer has this water
of life in them because God put it in them. It's caused to be
born in them. Now we have that now, but you
imagine what that life is going to be like in glory. If it's
bountiful and abundant now, think what it's going to be like there
when it's perfect. But we don't have to wait till then to have
the water of life. Everyone who believes on Christ has that fountain
in them right now. All right, 2nd verse 2 in our
text. Every believer has the tree of
life. In the midst of the street of it and on either side of the
river was there the tree of life, which bare a twelve manner of
fruits and yielded her fruit every month. And the leaves of
the tree were for the healing of the nations. Now you remember
in the garden of Eden, there was the tree of life. And after
Adam fell, Adam and all of his descendants lost access to that
tree. God put cherubims there with a flaming sword that turned
every way to keep Adam from coming back to that tree of life. And
that showed us that there is no way for a man to earn salvation,
to earn life by what we do. If we try it, we're going to
be killed. The sword of God's justice, if we try to earn salvation
by keeping the law, we're going to find all we can do is break
the law. and the sword of God's justice will kill us. So Christ
came to restore that tree of life to his people only better. See, Christ is the tree of life,
and everybody who believes on him has free, constant access
to that tree of life because Christ is in them. The reason
that sinners like you and me could have access to this tree
of life is Christ was crucified for us. See, Christ came Something
had to be done with that flaming sword of God's justice that turned
every which way. So Christ came and he took that
sword into himself. He took it for his people. And
the death of Christ satisfied God's justice. So he put that
sword back in its sheath. And it is of absolutely no danger
to anyone for whom Christ died because his death already satisfied
God's justice. And since the sword is in its
sheath, Believers could come boldly before the throne of God
at all times in the Lord Jesus Christ. We can come and have
life at all times. All because Christ died for his
people. John said the leaves of the tree
were for the healing of the nations. Well, how is it the sinners are
healed? There's just one way. It's through Christ's death for
us. Isaiah told us that in Isaiah 53 verse 5. He was wounded for
our transgressions. He's bruised for our iniquities.
The chastisement of our peace was upon Him and with His stripes,
with His suffering and with His death, we're healed. That's how
we're healed is by Christ dying in our place. Sinners are healed
from all of our sin sicknesses in the blood of the Lamb, the
sweet balm of Gilead. You know, sin is not just something
that we did that's kind of wrong, that, yeah, we really shouldn't
have done that, but you know, it's not that big a deal. Scripture
describes sin as a sickness, as a disease, as a filth, so
that by nature we're described as nothing but wounds and bruises
and putrefying sores. But after we're washed in the
blood of the Lamb, we're made whole, made perfectly healthy
without spot or wrinkle or any such thing. That's how powerful
the blood of Christ is, the death of Christ is. And everybody who
believes on him has that life in them right now, a life that
can never be lost. These bodies are still going
to die, but the new man born in us will never die because
Christ already died as our substitute. And the only difference in that
life of a believer between here and there, there's just one difference.
There it'll be perfect. body and soul. We're not going
to carry around the body of this death with us there anymore.
And this blessing of life, this healing, is for every day, at
all times, at any time. John said the tree bore fruit
every month. Now, trees we plant, if they're
a fruit tree, they're going to produce fruit once a year. At
a set time and whenever it is, they're going to produce fruit,
but just once a year. This tree produces fruit every month, all
the time. It's new every day. And what
that tells us is there is plenteous redemption in Christ for every
situation. This tree of life is exactly
what you need. Christ is exactly what we need
at all times, whether we're on the mountaintop or whether we're
in the valley, it doesn't matter what's going on. This tree of
life, Christ the Savior is what we need every day, every day. And it bore 12 manner of fruits.
Now that fruit is for all of spiritual Israel. You remember
in the Old Testament, national Israel, there are 12 tribes,
wasn't there? Well, this is speaking of spiritual Israel, telling
us that in every situation, Christ is what we need. He is our life. And the evidence of life is seen
in a tree's fruit, isn't it? Our Lord said, you can tell if
a tree's good or if it's bad by its fruit. Well, the fruit
of salvation, the fruit of life in Christ is not our fruit, is
it? It's His fruit. The branch doesn't
bear its own fruit. Why does the branch bear fruit?
Because it's connected to the body. It's connected to the root. You and I do not produce love,
joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, and goodness, and faith. We can't
produce that, can we? That's the fruit of the Spirit.
And He produces that Spirit. in everyone God saves, everyone
who has this life in them, there will be evidence of it in the
fruit of the Spirit. It will have that fruit because
we're connected to Christ. Now let me give you this warning
about this fruit. Don't look for evidence that you're saved
by looking for this fruit, looking for how strong your faith is
or how good you are, how gentle, how patient If you do that, you're
going to be sorely disappointed. You will never find any evidence
of salvation in something that you've done. And if you do, something's
bad and wrong. I'm telling you, you're not seeing
something right. There's only one way we can find evidence
that we have this life in us, just one way, by looking to Christ. If I want evidence that God has
really saved me, there's only one way I can have it, is am
I looking to Christ? Not did I look to Christ 20 years
ago. Not did I look to Christ yesterday,
but am I looking to him right now? That's the evidence of salvation. And every believer has that life,
that tree of life in them. It's Christ in you, which is
the hope of glory. All right, here's the third thing. Every believer is free from the
curse of the law. Verse 3 says, and there shall
be no more curse. That might be one of my very
favorite statements in the Bible. There shall be no more curse. When Adam was thrust out of the
garden, all of creation was put under a curse. It seemed like
everything in this creation was cursed because of Adam's sin. That happened in the third book
of the Bible. Everything was put under a curse. Something
happened in all these pages that is mighty important. Because
in the end, John says, there should be no more curse. And
I can tell you in a sentence what happened. Christ came. Christ
came to undo everything Adam did by his sin, by Christ's obedience
for his people. Galatians 3.13 says that Christ
hath redeemed us from the curse, being made a curse for us. Christ
was made a curse for his people, and that's how the curse was
taken away. You go back and read Genesis chapter three and you'll
find this out that Christ bore that the entirety of that curse
away by himself. After Adam fell, what's the first
thing that happened? Adam and Eve saw they were naked.
And they were ashamed, weren't they? That's why they started
to hide. But the Lord Jesus Christ came. He took that curse away.
He suffered naked before God and man. so that his people would
be clothed, clothed with his righteousness. But now this nakedness,
it means more than being without clothes. It means having everybody
see what you really are. No covering so that you're ashamed. Christ bore the shame of his
people. When he was made sin for them,
he bore the shame of his people. Because he was made what we really
are. He was truly made sin for his
people. And he suffered the shame of
it. All so that his people would be made truly righteous. Just
as truly as Christ was made sin, his people are made righteous.
And if we're made the righteousness of God in the Lord Jesus Christ,
there's no more shame left. There's no reason for them to
be ashamed. They've been made perfect in Christ. He bore that
curse away. Then God told Eve, your husband
shall rule over you. Well, Christ came to bear that
curse away. You think of the prince of glory. This lamb is
sitting upon a throne. He's the king of glory, the prince
of life. And he came to this earth as
a servant. He is made subject to his father.
He submitted himself to his father. He submitted himself to his own
law. He submitted himself even to the rule of men for a time.
I mean, he obeyed his parents. He obeyed the law. He obeyed
every commandment. He made himself subject to that
for this reason. So he could bear that curse away
and set his people free, free from the law, free to serve God.
Then God told Eve that he will greatly multiply her sorrow in
conception. Christ the Savior came to bear
that curse away. He was a man of sorrows, acquainted
with grief. And he suffered birth pains.
He suffered the travail pains. His sorrow, scripture says, was
greatly multiplied. So his people would be born again.
He bore that curse away. They have eternal life so that
there's no more suffering, no more pain, no more death, no
more sorrow there. Then God told Adam, cursed is
the ground for your sin. Ground, Adam, because of your
sin is cursed It's going to bring forth to you thorns and thistles
all the days of your life. Well, Christ came to bear that
curse away, and he showed us that so clearly. You know why
those soldiers thrust a crown of thorns upon his head? They
didn't know, but I do. You do. To show us clearly Christ
was bearing those thorns, bearing the curse on his head, bearing
it away so his people will never bear it again. God told Adam,
in the sweat of your face, you're going to eat bread. Apparently,
before the fall, it wasn't hard to grow things or provide food
or anything. But after the fall, God said,
you're going to earn your bread by the sweat of your brow. Well,
Christ came and bore that curse away. In the garden of Gethsemane,
before he went to the cross, at just the thought of being
made sin, at just the thought of bearing the curse of his people,
He sweat, scripture says. He sweat as it were, great drops
of blood bearing away that curse for his people. Then God told
Adam, in the day that you eat of the fruit of this tree, the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt surely die. And literally translated, that
is dying, thou shalt die. And the moment Adam ate that
fruit, he began, his body began to die physically. and he immediately
died spiritually. And that's every one of us, unless
the Lord returns first, every one of us is going to die. These
bodies must die. It's the curse of sin. Well,
Christ came to bear that curse away from his people. He died
as a substitute. He died the death his people
deserve. So they'll live. Whoever believes
on him will never die. Do you believe that? That's why
our Lord asked Martha. Do you believe that? Well, if
you do believe that, you've got this, you've got the curse of
the law is removed from you. There is therefore now no condemnation
to them which are in Christ Jesus, because you bore the curse away.
Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. And we don't
do harm to scripture to say where the curse abounded, the Lord
Jesus Christ did much more abound. He took the curse of what there
shall be no more curse. Christ suffered it all. So there's
nothing left for His people to suffer. You who believe, have
that blessing right now. If you believe Christ, you're
not under the curse. But we live in a cursed earth,
don't we? We still live in these bodies of sin. But there'll be
none of that there. We'll have that in perfection.
In heaven, Christ will have removed every trace of the curse. So you won't look like Adam,
you won't sound like Adam, you won't think like Adam anymore. The curse has been removed. All
right, here's the fourth thing. Every believer serves Christ
freely as a son, as a daughter, not as a slave. Verse three says
there should be no more curse, but the throne of God and of
the Lamb shall be in it and his servants shall serve him. Now
Adam served God, didn't he? Adam walked with God. Adam served
God. But you know, really, he walked with God as a servant,
not a son. Adam's relationship with God
was always dependent upon his continued obedience, wasn't it?
And the moment Adam disobeyed God, he lost all that. His relationship
really was the relationship of a servant. It depended upon his
continued obedience. And when Adam sinned, the very
moment he sinned, not only did he lose that relationship, but
you and I did too. We became slaves, servants to
sin, slaves to the law. But Christ came to undo all that. He came to restore that relationship
with God by his obedience for his people. We became sold under
sin, servants. The Lord Jesus Christ became
a servant to his father. And as a servant, he did what
you and I can never do. He satisfied his father. He pleased
his father by his perfect obedience. And what Christ did, he did as
a representative of his people, just like what Adam did. He did
as a representative of his people. By Adam's disobedience, we were
made sinners. We're made slaves to sin. And
if you don't think you're a slave to sin, try not to sin for the
next second. I mean, all it's got to do is
say that you think something's sinful. You can't help it. Because
that's what we are, what we really became by Adam's disobedience.
Everyone who believes Christ actually did what he did. So
the father is pleased with everyone who's in Christ. And now we still
serve the Lord, but now we're free to serving not as a child
or not as a servant, but as a child. Look at Galatians chapter four. Your Lord told his disciples,
he said, I don't call you my servants, but I call you my friend. I call you my friends here in
Galatians four, verse four. Here's how that happened. But
when the fullness of time was come, God sent forth his son
made of a woman made under the law to redeem them that were
under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
And because your sons, God has sent forth the spirit of his
sons into your hearts crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore, thou
art no more a servant. You're not a servant anymore.
Don't look to serve God as a servant, trying to earn something from
God anymore. You're sons. And if a son, then an heir of
God through Christ. A child of God serves our Father
in love, in joy, not trying to earn something from Him. Here's
my daughter, Savannah. I don't care what Savannah does. She'll always be my daughter.
You can't do something to be my daughter. You already are. You who believe they're sons
and daughters of God and nothing you do can improve that situation. Nothing you do can take it away
because it's in Christ. It's in Christ and in glory. We're going to serve him. We're
still going to serve the Lord, but there's going to be a whole
lot better than this here. It'll be perfect, perfect in both body
and soul. Right here's the fourth or fifth
thing. Every believer sees the glory of God in the face of Jesus
Christ. Verse four says, and they shall
see his face and his name should be in their foreheads. Sometimes I think about Adam
and my heart just breaks for him. I'm so glad I'm not Adam. Adam walked with God. In the cool of the evening, he
saw God. He saw a pre-incarnate appearance
of our Lord Jesus Christ. He walked with him. He talked
with him. And after Adam sinned, he lost
that privilege. He never ever did that again. And it's just hard to imagine
how Adam lived with that, isn't it? You and I have never seen
God like Adam did. Never. But Christ came to restore
that blessed privilege to his people. He came to give his people
eyes to see. By God's grace, everyone who
believes Christ sees Christ lifted up as a sacrifice for our sin.
We don't see him as an example. We don't see him as some pitiful
creature. You know, we ought to pity him
so we believe him to make him feel better about himself. No,
we see him lifted up as the sacrifice for our sin. When we see Christ,
we see the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, and here's
how we see that. Now I see how God can save a
sinner like me and still be God, still be just, and still be holy.
It's in the Lord Jesus Christ, a sacrifice for my sin. And this
seeing is more than just seeing, laying your eyes upon. It's being
in God's presence, When John says His name shall
be in their foreheads, nothing's going to be written on your forehead.
What that shows us is they're owned by God. You think of the
bliss of seeing the Savior face to face for eternity. That's
when we'll be satisfied. You know what David said? That's
when I'm going to be satisfied. And then think of the bliss of
God claiming us to be His for eternity. That's what they're
in, they see his face and they're with him accepted. Then sixth,
every believer has spiritual light, verse five. And there
should be no night there and they need no candle, neither
light of the sun for the Lord God giveth them light. Now Adam
had light in the garden before he fell, he had understanding
both spiritually and physically. Before the fall, Adam had to
be the most brilliant man to ever live. I mean, you think
he is brilliant. And the moment he sinned, he
lost all of that. I mean, he knew God. He walked with God. He talked
with God. And Adam became just so ignorant after he fell, he
thought he could hide from God in the bushes. Adam became so
ignorant and in just such complete darkness, Adam thought he could
pull one over on God and lie his way out of this mess he created.
Just complete ignorance. You and I are the same way. We
have that nature. We cannot see anything spiritual. We cannot see. So Christ came
to restore that light for his people. And he does that not
by shining light, not by turning the light switch on, but by being
the light of his people. Christ is the light of this world
and everything we see. Everything we understand, any
spiritual truth we understand, we understand in the light of
who Christ is. And I tell you, this is the primary
thing every believer sees. Now I see how it is God can love
me. It has to be in Christ. Now I
see how God can save me and accept me. It can only be in Christ. It can't be about anything about
me. It can't be about what I've done or what I haven't done.
It's all in Christ. Now I see. Now we who believe
have that light now. I mean, you believe because God's
given you light. But you have to admit, the very
best we see is through a glass darkly. We're just squinting,
trying to see. But in heaven, There'll be no
more squinting, no more seeing through a glass darkly. We'll
have perfect light so that we see Christ face to face and there'll
be no more darkness of any kind, no more darkness of ignorance.
There's so many things I don't understand. There'll be no more
darkness of ignorance there. No more darkness of unbelief,
no more darkness of sorrow, no more darkness of bigotry. It'll
all be gone. And there'll be no need for secondary
light there. The sun and the moon and the
stars and the candle, those are all secondary lights. They're
secondary to Christ. And I'll tell you what that means.
In glory, there'll be no more examples. There'll be no more
types. There'll be no more pictures.
Those are secondary lights. There'll be no need of those
things. Because we've got the real thing. We've got Christ
alive. And then here's the last thing.
Every believer reigns with Christ. The end of verse 5 says, and
they shall reign forever and ever. And in the garden, Adam
reigned over creation. All the animals were subject
to him. He named them and he ruled over them. God said, you
have dominion over the animals, over all of creation. Adam never
thought about one of those animals attacking him or anything. But
after he fell, He had to worry about lions and tigers and bears
and elephants stomping him and all this. He had to worry about
them because suddenly, there's predators on the prowl here because
of his sin. He didn't have dominion over
them anymore. Before Adam fell, he ruled the ground as a farmer. God said, you multiply and replenish
the earth. I mean, Adam planted a garden.
My soul, the fruit that came up. I mean, he ruled over the
ground. After he fell, The ground didn't
bring forth like it used to. Adam had to work hard to plant
seeds to grow fruit. He didn't have to do anything
for thorns and thistles to grow. They just grew. He didn't plant
them, but they grew because of sin. But Christ came to undo
all that. He came to restore this ruling
to his people. He's made all of his people kings
and priests. You who believe are kings right
now. Now you're going to think, I
don't rule over anything. There's lots of things I try
to do, I can't. I'll tell you how you're a king. You're not
subject to sin anymore. We still sin, but you're not
subject to its consequences. Christ bore them away. You're
not subject to its curse. Christ bore it away. You're not
subject to the law anymore. You don't have to obey the law.
Christ did it for you. The believer has absolutely no
relationship to the law whatsoever. You're a king over it. You're
free from this world. You rule over this world. This
world is in existence for you to provide for God's people until
such time as he brings them all home. And you're priests now. All of God's people can come
into God's presence at all times, anytime you want. In the Old
Testament, only the priest could do that, and he could only do
it one day a year, and he had to bring a sacrifice. You who
believe can come into God's presence at any time, because you always
have a sacrifice. The Lamb as it had been slain,
and come in Him and be accepted. Now, you've got that blessing
right now, but in glory, that'll be perfect. And we're not going
to be reigning over people, over unbelievers, and judging them,
and damning all those things. Christ is going to be the one
that reigns. but will enjoy his reign and be with him, enjoying
his presence forever. And that's the life and the future
of a believer. All right, Lord bless you.
